(Verse 1)
Fog rollin’ low on the Sacramento tide
Cold steel dawn and a mean east wind rides
Got that motor hummin’, coffee black as sin
Burnin’ Line guide, yeah we’re all locked in
Old rods creakin’, braid cuttin’ through
Chasin’ ghosts in the water where the big ones move
Northern Cali delta, where the shadows creep
You don’t fish out here… you hunt ‘em deep
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah we ain’t out here for the small-time fight
We’re chasin’ monsters in the dead low light
⸻
(Chorus)
We’re burnin’ line, yeah we’re pushin’ fate
Hook set hard, let that drag scream hate
Big ol’ striper bendin’ rods like sin
If you ain’t ready, don’t step on in
Sneaky Pete swingin’ through that dark
G-Ratt glide like a predator shark
With the fellas posted, yeah we don’t miss time
Out here livin’ on Burnin’ Line
⸻
(Verse 2)
Flacks on the cam, catch it all in frame
That hook-up moment when the water explodes in flame
Cold hands, but the fire runs deep
Heartbeat poundin’ every time we sweep
Dino Hunters lurkin’, yeah we stalk that wake
Every cast we throw got a soul at stake
Big bait, big dreams, no room for luck
Either you lock in… or you come up stuck
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah the river don’t care who you think you are
She’ll break you down or make you a star
⸻
(Chorus)
We’re burnin’ line, yeah we’re pushin’ fate
Hook set hard, let that drag scream hate
Big ol’ striper bendin’ rods like sin
If you ain’t ready, don’t step on in
Sneaky Pete swingin’ through that dark
G-Ratt glide like a predator shark
With the fellas posted, yeah we don’t miss time
Out here livin’ on Burnin’ Line
⸻
(Bridge – darker tone)
Yeah… some don’t make it back with pride
River take more than she gives sometimes
But we keep comin’ back, can’t let it go
There’s somethin’ in the current… down below
⸻
(Final Chorus – bigger, heavier)
We’re burnin’ line, yeah we live this life
Steel in our hands, cuttin’ through the night
Hog striper dreams and a cold north wind
Only the real ones know where we’ve been
Sneaky Pete drippin’, water turns black
One hit, one shot, ain’t no turnin’ back
With the crew locked in, yeah we draw that line
Welcome to the life of Burnin’ Line
